Edinburgh Book Quarter

Edinburgh’s ‘Soho’ lies between the West Port and Bread Street, the bookshop equivalent of Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley and home to a clutch of characterful independent booksellers. Edinburgh Books is the biggest second-hand bookseller in the city; Peter Bell specialises in Scottish books, history, military and maps. Main Point books is particularly good on philosophy, mountaineering and paperback fiction, while Armchair Books is a lightly alphabetised jumble sale of groaning floor-to-ceiling shelves. There is even a bookbinder – Owl and Lion – which sells journals and notebooks and runs regular beginners’ bookbinding workshops.
